The Dumbest War in History

They probably didn't lose that many men; the pre-war population numbers are based on a census that never actually took place and were manufactured by the crazy pre-War government.

WW1 & 2 from the German perspective were very dumb
WW1 could've made sense, but not in the way it was started.

once again true because all of them were related expect austria

In 1969 Honduras and El Salvador went to war over a disputed call in a World Cup soccer match. The war lasted about a week, and in that time managed to kill about 3000 people. The main point of the peace treaty was that the game had to be re-played, which it was, on neutral ground in Mexico City. The Salvadoran fans were seated on one side of the stadium, the Honduran fans on the other, and between them were 5000 Mexican riot police armed with heavy clubs, just to make sure there wouldn't be any more trouble.

One interesting aspect of the war was that the air forces of both sides flew American-made WWII piston-engine fighters, mostly Corsairs and Mustangs, and these actually did see combat against each other. When the war was over, American collectors, who apparently didn't know that these stocks of now-classic planes existed, went down to both countries and essentially bought their air forces for enough money that both countries were able to re-equip with more modern jets.

The Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuscinski happened to be in Honduras when the war broke out, and was the only reporter who was able to cover the war firsthand. His book on the subject is well worth reading:

1/10 made me respond

If you mean the most tragic and pointless and damning, its WWI for sure, shortly followed by the Social War of Republican Rome.

If you mean the most retarded and hilariously bad ones, I'd say the Paraguay vs Triple Alliance one and the Three Hundred and Thirty Five Years War, an unfought war between the Kingdom of Two Sicilies and the Netherlands

Theyre fighting over some dumb cunt who didnt care about any of them, FOR 10 FUCKING YEARS. The trojan war is the dumbest war in history.

Both world wars were very avoidable and were European fratricide. Churchill's hawkishness played a role in both. Also. The seeds of the Third Reich were planted at Versailles

no it paved the way for the spread of bolshevism, so there's that

Nah bolshevism was well underway before ww1. The course of the war is arguably to blame for Lenin's eventual rise to power (he was held in Switzerland but towards the latter part of the war was shipped to Russia by the Germans to destabilize the empire) but although the war put put enormous amount of strain on the empire, it's unlikely the revolution that ensued would have ended much differently had it not been for ww1

>the Soviets were bad so the Nazis must have been good
Both were bad

That war was one of the most important conflict in michigan history that gave it large resources and eventual statehood.

In the same way that WWI was all because of an Archduke's inability to shrug off a single round of .380 ACP.

What are you talking about? Someone had to stop the Holocaust. Americans are retarded.

Greecian wars were not fought over long periods of time. The trojan "war" was probably a bunch of wars and Helan didnt exist.
Makes a good story though

And it set up the greatest rivalry in all of sports.

Holocaust is a part of the World War II.

It wasn't a World Cup match. It was the qualifiers.

Never underestimate the importance South Americans put on football.

the only "holocaust" that happened, was the millions of Europeans that died. you white bois let the merchants trick you into that shit.

>fighting over some dumb cunt
She was literally the most beautiful woman on earth.
In fact, If I recall correctly the trigger for the war itself was actually some fuckery orchestrated by the Goddess Aphrodite, who was jealous of Helen being prettier than her.

Yeah, that was literally the casus belli and that was literally what happened.

mate we dont know if Troy ever even existed, no ruins have ever been found. The whole fucking story is a myth.

The fuck you say cunt?

The American Civil War. Tragically destructive to no tangible benefit.

This one is not as dumb but have funny name
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_War
>Chicken War or Hen War (Polish: Wojna kokosza) is the colloquial name for a 1537 anti-royalist and anti-absolutist rokosz (rebellion) by the Polish nobility. The derisive name was coined by the magnates, who for the most part supported the King and claimed that the "war's" only effect was the near-extinction of the local chickens, eaten by the nobles gathered for the rokosz at Lwów, in Małopolska.

war of 1812, the casus belli was dubious to begin with and had actually already been removed before war was actually declared.

the actual objective was not achieved and both sides suffered extensive loss that was entirely avoidable had but the US been remotely reasonable.

What can I say? We love dem Canadian titties.

I mean, that's what the war was about, right?

Jokes on them they failed miserably.

>WWI in particular, millions dead so aristocratic morons could wave their dicks at one another.

I think you fail to grasp the fact that Prussian militarism had been unchecked since the 1860s and that sooner of later there was going to be a fight with the intolerable kraut and their passion for invading france, neutral countries and conscripting forced labor from civilian populations and executing anyone who looked at them incorrectly. Germany may not have been to blame for WW1, but Prussia was.

Honduras and el Salvador never interacted or had any prior tensions before the puffball war

I thinks that's true about a lot of these "pointless" wars. The alleged inciting incident is more often than not an excuse for some long-standing hatred.
